Because small amounts can make big differences

When asked why he made a gift to the UAH Last-Mile Fund, Dr. William Wilkerson, Dean of the Honors College, said,

Because small amounts can make big differences. I’ve spoken with students forced to delay or abandon their dreams over really very small amounts of money. Nobody who can finish should have to delay or give up something that they’ve worked so hard for. As a society and as a university, we can do better.

Dr. Wilkerson’s reason is exactly the thought behind the UAH Last-Mile Fund. For those students struggling right at the end of their studies, a small amount of assistance can be just what it takes to get them over the finish line.

Making an Impact through Giving

The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) works with alumni, friends, companies, and other organizations to provide support and funding through a variety of giving programs. These funds are not just donations or gifts, they are a valued investment in our students and community.

Through this type of funding, UAH is able to provide support to colleges, departments, programs, and scholarships that help make our faculty and student body unmatched. When contributing to UAH through giving, you become a partner and integral part of that work.
